ChatGPT-Maker Prepping New AI Cybersecurity Solution
OpenAI is working on new AI – dubbed GPT-6 Cyber – designed to help businesses defend against cyberattacks.
A limited number of OpenAI customers are already testing the product, according to writer Emily Forlini.
Observes Forlini: “The release of the new cyber products comes as OpenAI and other leading AI labs have been under fire for a string of worrisome incidents in which “rogue” agents escaped their sandboxes and hacked outside websites.”
In other news and analysis on AI writing:
*ChatGPT-Maker Slams Brakes on Newest AI After It Goes Rogue on Internet: OpenAI has temporarily ceased development on a new AI model in development after the tech began wandering the Internet without permission.
Observes DPA International: “The incident follows several other cases involving OpenAI systems.”
Included in those AI-powered hacks most recently: OpenAI agents that unexpectedly interacted with U.S. government Web sites.
*With AI-First Startups, Humans Often Get the Ax: New AI businesses like Butternut AI are finding that when it comes to staffing, less is often more.
The startup recently cut loose five computer engineers after management discovered the work of those humans could be easily handled by AI.
Observes writer Katherine Bindley: “Plenty of startups increase head count at a rapid clip as they aim for billion-dollar valuations and fight for top engineering talent. But a subset of early-stage founders is embracing an ethos derived from an extreme reliance on artificial intelligence: Stay small for as long as possible.”
*Meta’s New AI Agent Muse: The Next ChatGPT?: Currently enjoying enthusiastic popularity on Apple’s App Store, Meta Muse – the AI agent for the everyman – could be the next ChatGPT, according to some tech insiders.
Observes Harshita Tyagi: “Muse is currently the No. 1 most-downloaded free app in the U.S. App Store, JPMorgan said, adding that the combination of the product’s virality and Meta’s powerful distribution platform has made the buzz around it quite palpable.”
Like many AI agents, Muse can send emails, book travel reservations, make online purchases – and perform a number of other digital tasks without human supervision.
*Adobe Makes It Easy to Talk — and Brainstorm — With Your PDFs: Adobe’s new AI productivity agent has new features that make it smarter than ever.
When paired with Adobe’s new Knowledge Base, the agent can be used by business teams to ask questions across a large collection of PDFs.
And when working with the new Analyzer, the agent is designed to extract structured information from thousands of PDFs for analysis and action.
Observes eWeek: “The launch builds on Adobe’s broader effort to reinvent Acrobat (the PDF maker) around AI.”
*Gemini Will Now Make Phone Calls on Your Behalf: ChatGPT-competitor Gemini has a new feature rolling-out that enables the AI to make voice calls for you to make dinner reservations, inquire about a product — or change an appointment.
Observes writer Sarah Perez: “The AI can call a business and introduce itself, navigate automated phone menus, wait on hold, and then handle the conversation on the other end.
“Meanwhile, users can watch how the call proceeds via a live transcript of the conversation.”
*Email Addresses for AI Agents Are Here: Longtime email provider Zoho is out with new tech that enables your AI agent – dubbed AgentInbox — to have its own email address.
Those kinds of credentials are critical for humans who want AI agents to work independently on a number of digital tasks for them – but also want the AI agent to take responsibility for the results by using its own email address.
Observes writer Pavithra Murugan: “AgentInbox provisions each agent with a dedicated mailbox. It owns a permanent address, isolated credentials, and a full log of every action it takes across sessions.”
*Now Your Ring Can Take Meeting Notes for You: Vocci is out with a $249 wear-on-your-finger ring recorder that can make written transcripts of every meeting you attend.
Observes TechRepublic: “The hardware can record without a nearby phone and is rated for up to eight hours of continuous recording.
“The ring uses a single button: Double-tapping starts or stops recordings.”
*Upgraded Microsoft Copilot Can Work for Days Unsupervised: Bringing new meaning to the concept of an AI agent, Microsoft Copilot has a new ‘Autopilot’ feature that allows the tech’s AI agent to engage in extremely long tasks.
Observes Jared Spataro, CMO, Microsoft: “Give it (Autopilot) a name, a role and a goal, and it goes to work — watching channels, following up on threads, running recurring work and picking a project back up days later, without waiting for a prompt.
“Autopilot is cloud-hosted — so it keeps working while you sleep or your attention is elsewhere — no constant monitoring required.”
*Writing in the Age of AI: The Take from Teens: A bevy of under-20 AI users – often the most sophisticated of AI users – assured The New York Times that they believe original writing is still an important skill in 2026.
Even so, as many as 90% of all U.S. high school and college students are using AI to help with schoolwork – including when it comes to writing.
Observes one student interviewed: “When I have a class that requires us to write, I sit down and I do it. However, when I look around the classroom and hallways, I see nearly every other student using AI.”
